1t is said that Albany is the only
capital of the original thirteen States
which was not captured during the
revolutionary war. 1t stood like a
Gibraltar of the colonial cause, when
Boston, New York and Philadelphia
had fallen. Enemies endeavored to
capture it from the North, but melt
ed away by the time they reached
Saratoga. Time and time again did
the English troops attempt to force
their way up the Hudson, with ill
success. During the war of 1912 the
attempt was again made to capture
Albany from the north, but though
the capital of the nation was pillaged
Albany remained in security. Even
the dark days of the seventeenth
century the French and Indians did
not come closer than Schenectady.
